Hard Rain floods Central Park area
The downpour has been almost non-stop all morning, and around 12:30pm, these pictures were taken from Heritage Bank on Barrier Reef Drive. Water was seen rising up the steps, and golf carts and vehicles splashed water every which way as they tried to navigate the flooded streets.
The
forecast calls for "Gradual improvement in weather conditions on the way." Thursday's forecast:"A few showers or thunderstorms." and Friday "Isolated showers/thunderstorms" Winds are expected to go from 20knots to 15knots for the next two days.
*Operators of small Craft should exercise caution*
Today mother nature decided to just bless us with rain... too much rain! Well it poured heavily for approximately two hours, flooding different parts of the island. Fishermen from the island had a bit more work cut out for them since their boats were sinking. Also, our office received reports of a boat filled with tourists out on a dive sinking outside the reef just in front of town. Local dive shops rushed to assist. No injuries or casualties have been reported. I guess its true when they say that when it rain it pours.
